Shantaram (2022)
8/10
True enough to the source material
15 October 2022
I love the book! So I eagerly waited and dreaded the series. First of all the casting for Prabhu (especially), Karla and Khader Khan is spot on.

Even as a non-native English speaker Charlie's accent just sounds weird to me(is he from Birmingham or something?). The scenery, music and overall vibe is good (at least what I imagine Bombay would feel like).

To me it seems they stayed as close to the source material as possible in an adaptation.

Not sure if this is season 1 or the whole book in 1 season, but the stage is now set with all the characters for the story to really turn it up. Looking forward to episode 4.
